Without this school Edinbugh for me would not have been the same. As soon as I arrived and entered there to join them, the fresh air and the good ambient came to me and would persist on my own until the day I would leave the school.
So it has been a really good experience with a good teaching and also nice teachers and pupils from everywhere in the world.
I definetely would recommend Regent School if you wanted to have a good time and learn English as well.
